Hello nairalanders, this is true. I am 21 years and have been experiencing sharp pain in my chest at the left hand side. It comes and go; that is, it is occasional.
Anytime it comes, it will grip me to the extent of holding my chest and sweating. I won't be able to stand or do anything for that few minute. If I try to, I will worsen the pain. What might be wrong with me. I did X-rays test when I was admitted to the university during medical clearance and nothing was said to be wrong.

Are u under stress, anxiety panic or any mental trauma dah makes ur mind to skp?

Maybe you engage in something stressful occasionally. Also watch your sleeping position.

can't really say but what I only observe about my nature is that I get panic easily. Any small drop or scary thing ( not highly scary though ), I panic and my heart beats fast

Sorry about the pain. Try and avoid strenous activities, watch your sleeping position(avoid sleeping on your left side) and most importantly, watch what you eat.

Bro, I think we are having the same problem. I was even beginning to think about going for a cancer test but I'm still scared to do that. I really hope an expert will be able to give you/us the answers that you/we seek.

ya symptoms of anxiety... Try to find out what triggers D panic and wen the taught bashes in try as hard to debunk it... Maybe difficult but try and see a doc... Stress leads to anxiety which leads to panic and realses adrenaline wen ever u get scared which takes u into what is called fight or flight mode which means either u fight or run mode, and by then hormones are released causing all kinds of negative taught s with uncertain outocome... Try and reduce caffeinated stuffs if u take any and see a doctor... Sleep early and well and try to remove negative taught of fear tho its hard

thanks but I don't have this attack when I'm scare ooo. It comes when I don't expect. The first time I had this issue was around 2005 when I was in primary school and I could remember I was playing then. Since then, it has been on and off.

My own no reach ur own, so I use soda water to settle mine...

Thou sleeping position might be responsible for urs.

After browsing the internet, I think we might be suffering from 'panic attack' or 'angina'

I had dis 2months ago...mine was chest pains,headache,palpitations,irregular/fast heartbeat and anxiety pranks...went to see a doctor who prescribed 'propanolol' for me,took it and evryfin bcame fine...he listed the causes wich are physical exertion,sleeping position,stress and much anxiety.

nah, no more fast/irregular heartbeats nor palpitations.the side effects of the drug are mild which are stomach upset and lightness and i have stoppd taking it since i fulfilled my dosage, dats for 2months now.
The drug should be taken on doctors prescription dats why it's paramount to see one cos some1 wit an already slow pulse shouldnt take cos it works by decreasing the pulse and improving the functions of the heart muscles and it also prevent heart attack

Am currently experiencing this only that mine extends to pains in my shoulders and hands, I also feel this tightness in the chest that makes me uncomfortable and throw up.

Am tired of going to the hospital and taking drugs cos I've not seen any improvement.

OP, I'll have stable angina and panic attack as the differential diagnosis. Interaction with you can help cone down the final diagnosis.

Answers to the following questions can help; are you overweight? what triggers the pain (exercise, emotion, cold weather? )? what relieves the pain (rest?)? do you have a feeling of impending doom when the episode is on? There are so many questions. The best you can do is go to a hospital for proper evaluation. You may have to do some tests like ecg/exercise ecg, nd other cardiac stress tests amongst others. Please, go to the hospital.

get blackseeds oil. good for heart diseases and heart congestion. 08181773750. works for ulcer as well.

Possible signs of an imminent heart attack. Have you had an ECG done recently? If not, request one!!!
